Stump Grinding in the Quad Cities
What changes the price
Diameter
Priced at $3-5 per inch — a 24-inch stump costs more than a 10-inch one.
Stump count
A second stump on the same visit usually runs 30-40% less than the first.
Depth
We grind 6-8 inches below grade by default; deeper for a replant costs more.
Access
A stump behind a narrow gate means a smaller grinder and more time.
What's included
- Grind 6-8 inches below grade
- Surface roots ground flush where they trip the grinder
- Rake-back of the chips
- Optional backfill with soil so grass grows back
How a local crew does it
- 01
Measure it
We measure the diameter and mark how deep to grind — 6-8 inches below grade is standard.
- 02
Grind
We run the grinder down through the stump and the anchor roots until there's no wood left at the surface.
- 03
Rake the chips
We rake the chips back and offer to haul them or leave them for the beds.
- 04
Backfill
We top with soil so the spot settles and the grass grows back over it.
Safety & assessment
We grind below grade so the stump doesn't regrow and the mower never hits it. We flag irrigation and invisible fence lines first — the grinder tines will snap them.
